This set is designed for set builders who love WWE
Wrestling, the base set consists of a 110-card checklist and there are 4
parallels for each base card; Bronze (1:2 packs), Silver (1:box), Gold (#/10)
and Printing Plates (1/1).

You also will be pulling two hits, one will be either an
autograph or mat relic card and the second will be a relic swatch. Some of the
swatches are from photo shoots so there may be some interesting relics in the set;
Topps has released the image of one of these swatches, a teddy bear relic from
a photo shoot with AJ Lee.

A new addition to the insert lineup is the Top 10 inserts.
Topps allowed fans to vote for the top 10 in 10 categories, 100 cards total.
Categories like Top WWE Champions, Top Trash Talkers and Top Finishers. The Top
10 are also tiered with cards 8-10 on the specific category checklist the
easiest, cards 5-7 are more difficult, cards 2-4 harder and card 1 a short
print so putting together a complete Top 10 for a certain category will take
some effort to find all of the cards.

My Thoughts:

The set is based on various story lines over the last year
but I have not watched a wrestling match since late 2012 so I am out of date on
what is going on in the WWE world but I do like the design with the black
borders and a decent action shot along with the specific date of the storyline
on the front of the card. If I was a regular wrestling fan I would be all over
this set. When you consider you get 2 hits and 13 parallels for $50 you really
get your value from a hobby box.

Pros:

2 Hits

Cheap Price

Easy Set to Build

Cons:

Sticker Autographs

Rating:

This set is a solid wrestling set; it covers the past year’s
story lines and will make any wrestling collector happy. It is easily 3 out of
5 because it has a nice design and interesting relics and you cannot complain
about the $50 price.

About Me

I started collecting as a kid but by the time I hit my teens my interests were elsewhere. I returned to the hobby in 1992, just in time to see the junk wax era go in to full swing. My collecting interests have changed over the past 25 years and I prefer to focus on just a couple of players.

My collection is very specific now because I want to keep it controlled and organized, I now focus mainly on my Ken Griffey Jr. & Jay Buhner collections.
